I love the small group classes – everyone works hard but there’s always a lot of laughter too. After attending my first few sessions I felt right and home and it really helped me to stay motivated. My favourite was the ’12 Days of Christmas’ training day – even though we were all in hysterics and working at a pace to finish all the exercises, Matt still made sure they were tailored to each person’s needs and capabilities.

Over the years, Matt has built a fitness community around Optimal Health, communicated the optimal health message and achieved great results with clients. He is always well informed and up with the latest fitness research and practices and I am relieved he does that for his clients so we don’t need to bother. When I look back on it I think I was probably a bit depressed about my state of health and my nutrition when I started seeing Matt. That really seems like a different me because I am now so into my fitness and loving my new eating habits and setting my little fitness challenges. So I guess you could say it has been transformational for me having Matt as a trainer and I feel well set up for turning 60, not afraid of it as one of my friends told me she was yesterday. Seeing Matt has turned out to be a great investment in my own future and I am always finding myself recommending his services to others.
